1 COUNTRY PROGRAMMING FRAMEWORK FOR UNITED REPUBLIC OF TANZANIA 2017 to 2020 January 2017

2 Introduction This Country Programming Framework (CPF) sets out four priority areas to guide FAO support and partnership with the Government of Tanzania bringing together innovative international best practices and global standards with national and regional expertise during four years from (2017 to 2020). It is an integral part of the UN Development Assistance Plan (UNDAP II) , while aligning FAO s global strategic objectives with the Government of Tanzania s priorities. The CPF was prepared in consultation with Ministries of: Agriculture, Livestock and Fisheries; Natural Resources and Tourism; Lands, Housing and Human Settlement Development; and Industries, Trade and Investment. In addition, other public institutions like Sokoine University of Agriculture; the Tanzania Food and Nutrition Centre, and private sector actors including the Agricultural Council of Tanzania and the National Network of Farmers Groups, UN Rome based agencies, as well as development partners and other stakeholders were consulted and their views considered. This CPF builds on the experiences of implementing the last CPF and takes into account the findings and recommendations of the Evaluation of FAO s Contribution to the United Republic of Tanzania (2016) by FAO s Office of Evaluation, and seeks to strengthen collaboration with other development partners supporting the Government of Tanzania. I. Country context and priorities The agriculture sector is key to overall economic growth and development of Tanzania. It provides about 66.9 percent of employment, accounts for about 29 percent of GDP, 30 percent of exports and 65 percent of inputs to the industrial sector. In the national development agenda, agriculture is expected to lead the growth and structural transformation of the economy and maximize the benefits of accelerated growth. The food and agriculture sector also has direct impact on the attainment of Sustainable Development Goals. The Government has formulated the Tanzania Development Vision 2025 (TDV) which envisages that by 2025 the economy will have been transformed from a low productivity agricultural economy to a semi-industrialized one, led by modernized and highly productive agricultural activities which are effectively integrated and buttressed by supportive industrial and service activities in the rural and urban areas. The Five Year Development Plan phase two (FYDP II) is an important framework that guides development planning in the Country for reaching Development Vision 2025 and attaining SDGs. Regarding agriculture, the FYDP II highlights key interventions, including; increased use of modern technologies including ICT and extension services, lengthening and deepening value chains, skills promotion along the value chains, commercialization, quality and standards, research and innovation, promotion of producer groups, and promoting marketing and improved access to financial services. The Tanzania Agriculture and Food Security Investment Plan (TAFSIP) 2011/ /2021 that maps the investments needed to achieve the Comprehensive Africa Agriculture Development Programme (CAADP) is expressed in terms of seven thematic programme areas: (i) irrigation development, sustainable water resources and land use management; (ii) agricultural productivity and rural commercialization; (iii) rural infrastructure, market access and trade; (iv) private sector development; (v) food security and nutrition; (vi) disaster management, climate change adaptation and mitigation; and (vii) policy reform and institutional support. The government together with development partners has taken also a number of initiatives, including the Agricultural Sector Development Programme, (ASDP II), the Southern Agricultural Growth Corridor of Tanzania (SAGCOT), Kilimo Kwanza initiative, and Big Results Now (BRN), all of them intended to enhance technology uptake, market development, and strengthening partnerships, towards 1

3 improving productivity, increasing production and incomes, increasing resilience, and ensuring food and nutrition security. In support of Government development effort UN agencies has developed the UN Development Assistance Plan (UNDAP) II FAO will be involved in the delivery of three of the UDAPII outcome. They are: (i) the economy is increasingly transformed for greater pro-poor inclusiveness, competitiveness and improved opportunities for decent and productive employment; (ii) increased coverage of equitable, quality and effective nutrition services among women and children under five; (iii) improved environment, natural resources, climate change governance, energy access and disaster risk management. II. FAO s contribution and expected results The CPF is aligned with the UNDAP II and the government priority areas as identified in the FYDP II, and sectoral strategies and will support the implementation of the ASDP II to be launched early in Accordingly, the CPF will focus on four mutually reinforcing priority areas: Priority Area A: Evidence based agriculture 1 policy, planning, investment and sector coordination This will include strengthening national capacity for evidence-based planning, monitoring and evaluation of food and nutrition security/poverty reduction interventions, advocating for improved policy and legal framework for food and agriculture and facilitating effective cross-sectoral coordination. The availability of accurate statistical data is critical for the planning of agricultural development interventions and for assessing progress towards the attainment of development targets. Currently the country generates two different sets of data and information on the agricultural sector: baseline data is generated through the Agricultural Sample Census conducted every five years, supplemented with selected sample surveys, and routine data collection through the Living Standards Measurement Study Survey which provides data for the preparation of: Progress reports, Agricultural marketing information, Production, Import and Export, Weather, Crops and Livestock forecasts. However, these are generated by various institutions using different techniques of data capture and different monitoring frameworks which generate different and inconsistent data and information. Through this CPF, FAO will support NBS, MALF and to improve reliability of data and information used for planning and improvement of food and agriculture in the country. This will include strengthening capacities for monitoring and reporting on food and agriculture related SDGs. Through the CPF, FAO will provide leadership in dialogues on agriculture, nutrition and the environment for the purpose of ensuring coherence and well-coordinated sector-wide development planning and implementation; It will strengthen policy dialogue between stakeholders and Government to provide an enabling environment for investment in agriculture, and sound provisions for governance of tenure; strengthen capacity of and for agricultural statistical data collection, analysis and dissemination and its application in planning and implementing of agricultural and rural development policies, strategies and investment programmes. Priority Area B: Increasing agricultural production, productivity for food and nutrition security. Work undertaken in this priority area will support the Government of Tanzania in its efforts to use agricultural growth as the main driver towards reducing poverty and reaching middle-income level status by Furthermore, the expected outcomes will advance the implementation of the ASDP II which is the main operational modality agreed upon by the Government and development partners for 1 Agriculture in FAO context includes crops, livestock, fisheries, and natural resources 2

4 achieving the growth targets for the agricultural sector, as well as the SAGCOT initiative, which aims to increase agricultural production and productivity by linking smallholder farmers to commercially led larger scale enterprises, focussing in the first instance, on rice, maize and sugar cane production. The CPF aims to promote the use of Good Agricultural Practices (GAP), focussing on value chain development of selected sub-sectors (including livestock, crops, forestry and aquaculture) and giving due attention to decent rural employment criteria for rural youth and women farmers. The CPF will strengthen research-extension-service linkages to support smallholders to improve their technical and organizational capacity to access these services. It will further support the government s efforts of improving the nutritional status of its population by promoting nutrition-sensitive agriculture for dietary diversity; and supporting food security and nutrition assessments; and coordination mechanisms. Priority Area C: Improving market access for increased incomes Poor integration of smallholder farmers (particularly women and youths) into high value markets and the lack of agricultural market information systems are underlying factors for the prevailing low motivation to improve production. The CPF is expected to strengthen post-harvest handling; appropriate household and community storage systems; value-addition and ensuring food safety controls and maintaining recommended food quality standards, allowing Tanzania to take full advantage of its central position in the East African trade dynamics. Attention will be paid to empowering producers to conduct market research and access pofitable markets through the use of ICT-based platforms. In addition, the CPF will promote entrepreneurial skills of small scale producers and traders, including youth and women, and will strengthen the collection, analysis, storage and dissemination of agricultural marketing data at all levels. The CPF will promote dialogue between the government and the private sector to facilitate enabling environment and mechanisms, including tax regimes for facilitating cross-border trade so as to tap into market opportunities in the neighbouring countries. This is expected to contribute to the development of a business environment conducive to profitable engagement by all agricultural value chain actors, facilitating the commercialisation of smallholder agriculture. Priority Area D: Strengthening resilience to natural and man-made threats and crises, such as climate change impacts; and unsustainable management of natural resources Extreme weather events such as droughts and floods due to climate change, pests, and disease outbreaks continue to pose a threat to food security in the country. Climate change is likely to continue to pose challenges and threats to farmers in future. The effect will be more acute to vulnerable groups and those operating in fragile ecosystems such as the agro-pastoralists, and forest dependent communities. Unsustainable management of natural resources and environmental degradation continue to pose serious threats to the livelihoods of rural and urban populations. This has exacerbated resource use conflicts, currently gripping the country. The CPF aims to lay a solid foundation to strengthen resilience of households, communities and institutions to prevent and cope with disasters that impact the agricultural sector productivity, food security and sustainable livelihoods. In addition, the CPF will strengthen capacities for early warning and emergency preparedness; upscale FAO s work on climate smart agriculture; provide support to sustainable forestry including social protection mechanisms for forest-dependent communities; and strengthen land and water management particularly in the vast rangelands of the country. 3

5 III. Implementation, monitoring and reporting arrangements The total resources required for the implementation of the CPF is estimated at 17,641,000 USD. About 5,936,000 USD are available leaving a balance of 11,705,000 USD to be mobilized. The CPF will be financed through broad partnerships, including development partners in the sector, the Government of Tanzania, south-south cooperation programmes and joint programmes within the One- UN framework and other international organizations. TCP resources for the biennium 2016/17 and 2018/2019 will also support the CPF. Modalities for delivering on these priorities will include, working in partnership with Government at national and LGA level with specific linkages and coordination with line ministries; seeking collaboration with non-state actors, particularly producer organizations, the private commercial sector, academia, and other research institutions. The CPF will be pursued in partnerships as broad as possible and in alignment with the joint efforts of the Government of Tanzania and the development partners for enhanced coordination and aid effectiveness. The Government of Tanzania and FAO look forward to seeking collaboration and support from all concerned partners for the successful implementation of the CPF The CPF will be subjected to a mid-term review where stakeholders will amend the targets where necessary. At the end of the CPF the FAO Office of Evaluation will evaluate achievements made and suggest areas for FAO involvement in the next phase.

13 Annex 2: UN-system linkage FAO in Tanzania is part of the One UN delivering as one Framework. The 14 Participating UN agencies work together, creating a coherent and holistic approach to programming in areas of common interest. The UN Country Team (UNCT) established a single, coherent One UN Country Plan for all UN agencies: the UN Development Assistance Plan (UNDAP) II It reflects a continued commitment to strong ownership and leadership by national stakeholders, a continued emphasis on the shared values, norms and standards of the UN system and a continued determination to achieve results which will make a positive difference to the people of Tanzania. Further, there is a heightened focus on the normative agenda, with greater emphasis on policy coherence and the use of data. Finally, there are real efforts to be more strategic in approach, tightening focus to core priorities, whilst remaining much more flexible to respond to changes in national priorities and needs, as and when they arise. As an active member of the UNCT FAO participated at all stages of the UNDAP formulation process, and has a big role in the implementation process of UNDAP II. The outcome areas that FAO will be involved are: UNDAP II Outcome: The economy is increasingly transformed for greater pro-poor inclusiveness, competitiveness and improved opportunities for decent and productive employment. UNDAP II Outcome: Increased coverage of equitable, quality and effective nutrition services among women and children under five. UNDAP II Outcome: Improved environment, natural resources, climate change governance, energy access and disaster risk management. FAO will develop Joint Work Plans and projects with UN partners, and this will serve as a basis for the joint mobilization of resources and contribute to cost effective and efficient delivery of UN system support. 12
